Fairtax4me Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm not familiar with these. Is the tool plastic or the fastener on the rack plastic? I know some vehicles use a plastic tool with a torque clicker built in to prevent over tightening. Usually this can be matched up with a metal driver of the same size to use for removal. The trick is determining which type of drive the tool is. (Double hex 12 point, 12 point square, 12 point spline, torx, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Can you post a picture? I only recall using a T40 torx to do roof rack installs but its been a little while since I had one off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
